Emma Yardley is a freelance travel journalist who lives on a tiny island off the west coast of Canada. Having worked for the past 10 years as a lifestyle editor, writer and columnist in the country's busiest newsrooms, she turned her focus to travel in 2013 and hasn't looked back. Soft adventure, unusual experiences and anything to do with water — be it at the spa or on a sailboat — are her jam.Find her on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook at @byemmayardley
